How to Package Holiday Cookies to Send to Deployed Military

This holiday season a few close friends of ours are deployed overseas with the US Navy. They are members of my husband’s unit and it so weird to me after going through so many other deployments and missions with their family, to not be apart of this. A strange part of me has been suffering from some guilt over it. I remember many years ago the feelings I had the first holiday season my husband, than boyfriend, was deployed overseas. While I was here stateside with my friends and family by my side, I couldn’t imagine what it was like for the brave men and women spending their holidays defending our country.

The kids and I had such a fun time making these cookies together and because we knew they were going to brighten a hero’s day, it made it that much more special.
